We wish to pay respect to their Elders – past, present and emerging – and acknowledge the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within the Sunshine Coast community. Sunshine Coast Council is committed to ongoing communications and consultation with the Traditional Owners and the broader Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community of the Sunshine Coast in the implementation of the strategy. 2 Sunshine Coast Biodiversity Report 2020 Sunshine Coast Biodiversity Report 2020 for the Sunshine Coast Council area September 2020 edition Sunshine Coast Biodiversity Report 2020 3 September 2020 edition. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au T 07 5475 7272 F 07 5475 7277 Locked Bag 72 Sunshine Coast Mail Centre Qld 4560 © Sunshine Coast Regional Council 2009-current.

Maintaining a healthy natural environment is critical to supporting our economy and community. Council’s Environment and Liveability Strategy (ELS) provides a framework to deliver a healthy environment and liveable Sunshine Coast by 2041. Our biodiversity is an integral part of the Sunshine Coast’s natural environment, that’s why it’s so important to protect our native plants and animals and distinct landscapes. The ELS target for biodiversity is to maintain the 2016 extent of native vegetation (no net loss) by 2041. The baseline target extent of 124,283 hectares of native vegetation was informed by the 2016 Biodiversity Report. The Sunshine Coast Biodiversity Report (2020 edition) supports the strategic direction set by the ELS and assists Council to report on its biodiversity assets and progress towards meeting its target of no net loss of native vegetation. The Natural Environment Biodiversity Waterways and Wetlands Coastal Waterways and wetlands are the living The coast is the tidal foreshore and Biodiversity is the variety arteries of our natural environment that adjacent areas that include the of all life – plants, animals convey or hold water in the landscape. built and natural environments.

To manage terrestrial biodiversity These four key considerations make The Report is complemented by a at a landscape scale within the up the reporting categories of the Technical Background Report which local government area, the focus Biodiversity Report, represented in provides detailed descriptions of is on our core habitat areas.

The Biodiversity Report uses a combination of vegetation datasets including the Queensland Government’s Regional Ecosystem mapping (referred to as remnant vegetation) and Council’s local fine-scale vegetation (referred to as non-remnant vegetation). Combined, these two datasets make up the Sunshine Coast Council area’s native vegetation extent. Approximately 55% of our council area has native vegetation cover. The native vegetation comprises: 74% remnant and 26% non-remnant vegetation. 12% of our native vegetation occurs in urban areas.

The landscape and character of the Sunshine Coast is the essence of the region and helps define our identity and culture. Our native vegetation along with agriculture, horticulture and recreational lands provides the ‘green frame’ that seperates our neighbourhoods and town centres, contributing to our community of communities. 10 Sunshine Coast Biodiversity Report 2020 Map 1: Sunshine Coast Council area remnant and non-remnant vegetation Sunshine Coast Biodiversity Report 2020 11 Our vegetation communities Regional ecosystem mapping is a Queensland Government developed method of identifying, classifying and describing the state’s diverse range of vegetation communities. A Regional Ecosystem (RE) refers to a distinct vegetation community distinguished by dominant canopy tree species that occur in association with a particular combination of geology, soil and landform in a specific bioregion in Queensland. The RE dataset also includes a pre-European vegetation layer known as pre-clearing regional ecosystems. The remnant and pre-clearing datasets were used to help classify Council’s native vegetation data into broad vegetation communities. Before European settlement the Sunshine Coast Council area had 225,471 hectares of remnant vegetation.

  • Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
    ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast.

  • Restoration of Noosa Estuary
    Ecological Service Professionals Sustainable Science Solutions Restoration of Noosa Estuary An Assessment of Oyster Recruitment Prepared by The Nature Conservancy & Ecological Service Professionals July 2015 Document Control Report Title: Restoration of Noosa Estuary: An Assessment of Oyster Recruitment Provider: The Nature Conservancy Contact: Edward Game [email protected] Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without financial assistance from Noosa Shire Council and The Thomas Foundation. Important support was also provided by the Noosa Parks Association, in particular, we thank Brian Walsh who provided his vessel, skippered us safely around the estuary and provided such great company and assistance each day we ventured out in the field. The Walkers provided use of their jetty in Noosa Sound to suspend tiles, which was greatly appreciated. Executive Summary With the support of the Noosa Shire Council and The Thomas Foundation, The Nature Conservancy undertook an assessment of oyster recruitment in the Noosa Estuary. This assessment is a critical piece of information to inform the viability and design or future oyster reef restoration projects in the estuary. This report presents the findings of the assessment, which involved deploying over 160 settlement tiles (10 cm x 10 cm squares made from fibrous cement sheet) for periods of up to 5 months between December 2014 and June 2015. Settlement tiles were deployed at seven intertidal (0.1 m above low water mark) and five subtidal sites (typically 1 m below the surface) around the Noosa River Estuary. Key findings from the analysis of these settlement tiles are: Oysters recruited in moderate numbers at nearly all sites, with the highest observed recruitment occurring in Weyba Creek, the main channel around Tewantin, and in the narrow channel between Goat Island and Noosa North Shore.

A: Because he was a little shellfish! Synopsis The overall aim of this project was to consider several freshwater invertebrates that are restricted both geographically and climatically to determine their population genetic structure, population distribution and population viability. The study was set in a framework of genetic analysis as genetics can be used to answer a whole suite of conservation focused questions. Specifically, the study concentrated on the population dynamics of three freshwater crayfish from the genus Euastacus: E. hystricosus, E. urospinosus and E. robertsi. Also, in this study I explored the role of two commensal flatworms as proxy species, to aid in disentangling the population structure of their crayfish hosts. These flatworms were Temnosewellia batiola, which is specific to E. hystricosus and Temnosewellia albata, which is specific to E.
